They could not get it started with that first jump. It turned out that nothing was wrong my car battery. It actually started when I pressed down on the clutch a lot harder than I normally had to before this. I never did figure why this was, but anyway, I think it was only a few weeks after that the I purchased my first portable battery jump starter. I've realized the other day that my 12 Volt battery jump starter is more than just an automotive tool. One night when our power went out in our apartment, my wife and I realized we had no flashlight. Without any alternative light source finding your way around in a pitch black apartment is not a fun experience. Then I realized that my 12 Volt battery jump starter also has a light switch for emergencies. This function would be especially useful for a light source while changing a tire in a dark roadside, for instance. But in this particular case it served us for much of the night while the power was out. Besides keeping emergency automotive tools in your car at all times, always keep up with your normal car maintenance like tune-ups and oil changes. A 12 volt car battery charger will often have built-in air compressor for tires, inverter for a power source, along with a light source and is just one of many tools to keep handy for emergencies. All these are available at your local auto supply shop!
The cable can be dried out by removing and spinning it rapidly in a circle over your head, so that the centrifugal force throws the water out. Then grease it by moving the sheath over greasy cable. If it is not the hand brake, then decide it if is just one side. If so, you will have to take the pads out to see if it is the pads or pistons that are sticking. Pads should move freely, pistons are harder to tell. Because of the hand brake, rear calipers have a one way ratchet on a pin in the back of the piston, that only allows for retracting while turning CW. It is rare that pistons seized unless the boot is ripped. If it is, you use brake pressure to force piston all the way out, clean, use new seals, brake lube, put it all back together, then bleed air out.
Hope you got deep pockets. Po420 is cat converter code(usually doesn't kill engine)the othe codes will need diag.

When it rains, their is more loss of current at corroded connections, and the air is denser and conducts heat better, causing cooler readings at the intake air temp sensor. Clean the contact as the electrical fittings and the air mass sensor. You can check the intake air temp sensor with an ohmmeter. Zero or infinite resistance is bad. I think it is supposed to be from 100 to 500 ohms, or something. What should I do with my VW Jetta MKIII? I have been at this crossroad since laying eyes upon it and I can't seem to decide. Also, if I do make it a tuner car, should I focus more on aesthetics or performance? I almost don't wanna let go of the awesome gas mileage but at the same time I have done research and have seen the massive potential it has. I can't afford to do both because at this point I am between jobs because of an unexpected medical discharge from the Army and I don't want this thing to be too much of a money pit. 6,000 in it over the span of a few years is all I could do while managing to keep my current hobby (gun collecting and target shooting) in the picture.
